JOS STEEN; music for tape and turntable lp
 
jos steen is a remarkable outsider in the purest possible sense of the word ! telling stories about the dude always sounds like they're untrue or seriously exaggerated, the way he lives sounds like a fairytale and the way he acts would resemble the heaviest mix of bukkowski and bobby colombo. jos lives in a tiny house underneath a radiotower of the national tv and radiostation "vrt", where he works as an audio librarian, the house is built on the highest point of the area in a forest, u can see it from miles and miles away, it's tiny but can be called a museum! it is full of selfmade instruments and broken piano's, amazing wooden string instruments made of garbage and all kinds of foreign instruments noone remembers the name off. 
since around 1964 jos has been making poems, stories, paintings, collages, drawings and music/sound to kill the demons in his head or jam along to their forceful blues! some call him "the belgian beefheart" and the people that already forgot about beefheart talk about a local little howling wolf.
jos always made selfreleased zines, tapes and more recently mountains of cdr's of homemade blues, broken bottle experiments and heavy free music folk. this lp is a selection of tracks of a recent cdr of tape and recordplayer experiments spiced with vacummcleaners, rotting voices, undefinable strings, piano's etc.. it's absolutely unthinkable his work could be potentially lost in time and space, for fuck's sake, the dude is a genius!!!!!!
in the past jos played with free jazz greats like peter jacquemin, andré goudbeek, yvo van der borght, with poetry psychos like roland topor and freddy de vree, and with zappa's own jimmy carl black who begged on his bare knees to play with jos, well maybe thats exaggerated as well..
this lp comes in a gold and white cover by dennis tyfus and a off set printed insert!
16 euro
